Arrogance mixed with incompetence.
The UCP saw how the Liberals won in Canada. "Canada is a default Liberal country", "The CPC were largely a protest vote". The UCP knows that many Albertans are conservative and hence it would be their absolute right to govern Alberta. "Alberta is a default conservative province", "The NDP were largely a protest vote".
Incompetence because, really, all they had to do is go hard on the economy and keep their mouth shut on the rest of their social views. At least till after the elections. And even if they were found out, so what? Have a standard response that doesn't amount to "Sorry, YOU'RE offended" and they would have wiped the floor.
